I just finished a conversation with my mom and due to circumstances of the past, they all want me to change my name. I use 2 names even in my passport but they are asking me to make it 3. Please is it compulsory to use 3 names in any Parastatal or International Organizations or National Issue? Thank you.

P.S. Hope this gets to Front Page. Need your advice please. Mods please do something.

If u are usin 3 names, make sure they are all thesame in other places u'v put ur name.. I.e, they must tally...

U dnt wana be mixin 2 and 3 names simultaneously.. Its so gona backfire

But is there any place where it is compulsory to use 3 names? Thanks for your answer

I don't think its compulsory. No it isn't.

TheSonOfMark:
Three names. It's easy to trace one's ancestry via it.
Your name ( first name), your dad's name (middle name) and your granddad's name (surname).

Well, that has been the traditioning of naming in my state. ♦

wow... I learn everyday....

Well, where my father is from, it is 2 of Your Names and your ancestral name. For example Joseph Obinna Alozie (Joseph being the English name, Obimna the native name and Alozie the ancestral name).

Dis is what is supposed 2 b d correct thing.

But people just use their 3rd personal name as their middle name.

I used 2 use just 2 names till I did dis new original drivers license & international passport. Dose ones say I must use 3rd name by 4ce.
